Acorn Stem Cell
Preserve Your Cells for Future Possibilities
Your body's cells hold valuable biological information, and preserving them today may create opportunities for personalized treatments in the future. Acorn Stem Cell Preservation offers a way to collect and store your own cells through a simple hair follicle collection process.
Acorn introduces a forward-thinking approach to regenerative science, allowing you to preserve cells from your current age for potential future applications in skin, hair, and other emerging areas of regenerative medicine.
How Acorn Stem Cell Works
Hair follicles contain diverse cell populations, including stem cells that researchers are studying for their potential applications in regenerative medicine. Acorn uses these follicles as an accessible source for collecting and preserving your own cells.
The process begins with collecting approximately 50 intact hair follicles from the scalp. These samples are then sent to Acorn's laboratory, where they undergo quality assessment and cryopreservation at extremely low temperatures.
This approach allows your cells to be stored for potential future use as regenerative technologies continue to develop.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Acorn cell collection is a relatively quick, nonsurgical procedure that requires no incisions or injections. During your appointment, individual hair follicles are carefully collected from selected areas of the scalp.
You may experience mild pulling sensations or temporary scalp tenderness, but the collection process generally requires little to no downtime. Most patients can return to their regular activities shortly afterward.
Once collected, the follicles are transferred for laboratory processing and long-term storage. The collection itself does not produce immediate cosmetic changes, as its primary purpose is to preserve cells for potential future applications.
Aftercare Recommendations
Following your Acorn hair follicle collection, your scalp may feel slightly sensitive where the samples were taken. Most people require little aftercare, although treating the area gently can help minimize temporary discomfort. Follow the instructions provided by your clinician, particularly if you experience tenderness or irritation after your appointment.
Post-Treatment DO's:
Keep your scalp clean and follow your provider's care instructions.
Handle the collection area gently if you experience tenderness.
Contact your provider if discomfort persists or worsens.
Post-Treatment DON'Ts:
Do not use irritating scalp products on tender areas until sensitivity subsides.
Avoid scratching or repeatedly touching sensitive collection areas.
Avoid aggressive brushing or pulling at the collection sites immediately afterward.
Any Questions?
Unlike procedures that involve administering stem cells, Acorn Stem Cell Preservation focuses on collecting and storing your own cells. The goal is to maintain access to these biological samples for potential future applications rather than deliver an immediate therapeutic result.
Adults of different ages may consider cell preservation. Because cells undergo age-related changes over time, some individuals choose to bank their cells earlier. However, eligibility depends on factors such as hair follicle availability and collection suitability.
Yes, hair typically grows back after the collection process. Removing individual hairs with their follicles does not ordinarily prevent future hair growth, although individual experiences may vary.
Acorn is researching and developing personalized regenerative applications involving hair follicle-derived cells. Certain cell-derived cosmetic products are already available through participating providers, while other applications remain under investigation. Preserving your cells does not guarantee that a particular treatment will become available or be suitable for you.
